Hi,
This thread is dedicated to the HEXAFLY project - which we did not have yet.
"The HEXAFLY project aims to achieve a first maturation and a proof of concept to experimentally fly-test these radically new conceptual designs accompanied with several breakthrough technologies on board of a high-speed vehicle. This approach would increase drastically the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) up to 6 (System demonstrated in relevant environment)."

For a kickstarter yummy sizzle, below is a notional Mach-8 experimental inward turning vehicle design. Paperplane, as usual.
